Juan Ángel Barajas

Juan Ángel Barajas is a 28-year-old Mexican student currently pursuing postgraduate studies in Barcelona. He has faced significant challenges in the city’s competitive rental market, recently renting a room for 615 euros, which proved financially burdensome due to currency conversion from pesos to euros. After securing a new room for 450 euros, he reflects on the temporary nature of his housing situation, describing it as 'buying time' while bracing for the emotional and physical stress of future apartment hunting.
